I’ve always felt that the best comic book series are the ones that I could imagine watching unfold during a really good television series. The odd thing about The Walking Dead is that it actually has been made into a television series. That series is pretty good, but at this point isn’t much like the…
Avengers #13 is the most important comic book to come out of Marvel’s doors in recent weeks. Outer space is a large, scary place and the vast unknowns of space have never been as important as they are in the “Marvel NOW!” event. With the unexpected return of the High Evolutionary, what other surprises are…
Welcome current and future anime fans to our new weekly segment here on Geek Insider, “Why Haven’t You Seen It? In the age of the internet we’re basically flooded with content from overseas.

Action Comics #21 continues to tell the story of Superman’s maturation into the peoples’ champion. But has Action Comics #21 done enough to shrug off the bitter taste left from the previous issue? Everything you need to know is right here in Geek Insider’s review of Action Comics #21! Action Comics #21: The Story So…
Earth 2 Annual #1 is one of four jumbo sized, $4.99 comic books released by DC this month. Unlike the other three DC annuals, however, Earth 2 Annual #1 takes place in its own separate world. No super hero comic book continuity would be complete without confusing alternate realities. Despite DC’s drastic attempt to consolidate…
I saw these amazing Link and Zelda costumes at last weekend’s Animazement, and as I got closer to compliment the cosplayers, I realized both outfits were totally handmade. Zelda (check out her photos at Cookie Cosplay here) was kind enough to answer some of my questions about cosplay. What got you interested in cosplay? What…
Samurai How-To For this presentation at Animazement, four of the young men from stage-combat group The Jacabals demonstrated how to properly wear a hakama. A hakama is the wide-pants bottom worn over a kimono in old samurai movies. The Jacobals began with a demo battle in full, traditional outfits. Their translator called this type of…
Thor, Iron Man, Spider-Man and the rest of the Avengers are back in Avengers #12, and this time they’re learning to appreciate the hardships of parenthood…? Not only that, but they’re hanging out in a prehistoric jungle inhabited by dinosaurs. As usual, comic book writer Jonathan Hickman has brought the worlds of sci-fi and super-heroes…
When is a man more than a man? When he’s a man with a moon for a head. This is the basic premise of Moon, a comedy driven, action packed and astronomically silly comic book by writer Dan Thompson and artist Steve Penfold. The dynamic duo were recently promoting Moon at MCM London Comic Con…

Free Comic Book Day, which we have focused on…
Deadpool Killustrated poses some interesting questions. How do you defeat the un-defeatble? How do you beat super hero comic book characters that always win? And how can an indestructible villain die? The merc with a mouth Deadpool has got a pretty nifty idea of how to answer all three. Find out how in Geek Insider’s…
Ah, The Incredible Hulk. Comic books are such a diverse medium brimming with imagination, witty humour, thoughtful social commentary and much, much more. But after a long day of controversial comic book mutants, Marvel’s distasteful rape scenes and a whole load of shoddy comic books (I’m looking at you, Wolverine MAX), the mean, green wrecking…
Wolverine MAX #7 had the potential to be a truly gritty and visceral comic book worthy of the MAX Comics name. In fact, the ending of Wolverine MAX #6 left us with the promise of an enraged and vengeful Logan free from the shackles of his own self control. We expected blood and we expected…
Despite the title of this article and the official Free Comic Book Day website, this issue’s full title is not “Superman Special Edition” at all, but is in fact Superman: Last Son of Krypton Special Edition #1. Why such a convoluted title for what should be a simple introduction to Superman comics? The answer lies…
